Inspired by my love of patterns, this piece creates the "lay of the land" in a non-traditional manner. It is my hope that I have created a sense of movement and rhythm in this painting.

Note to all viewers of this blog all work shown to date has been sold. I have one show left this season. In October I will be at Cincinnati Hyde Park. I would like to thank all of you for making my year successful. I am taking time off to "restock" and enjoy my great family. With each painting I have expanded my knowledge of my medium and gained a better insight into my thought processes. Creating art is a very rewarding and personal experience. Once I have more paintings I will again share . If you are a fellow painter, "Happy Painting!" To my followers, "Thank you for your interest."

It's a Thursday morning and I have just finished another painting. We are gearing up for our final three outdoor shows. The season has been good for us. I think that we are ready to call it a season. While I love painting, the production of a quantity of paintings each week to sell is at times very difficult. In working in this fashion, I find success and I find failure. The failure through the years has become easier to deal with- I can look at the painting and say that it doesn't work and begin again. So as I leave for the day I hope that each of you realize that there are going to be failures and that we each move on in search of success. Have a great weekend. See at Salt Fork.
